God’s Promises to the Orphan
I copied this list from the Uribes Family blog. They have returned from Colombia with their little man. So adorable. I love the list because it shows the heart of a relational God. A righteous God.

I will defend you. Ps 82:3 “Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; Ps 10:14 “You are the helper of the fatherless.”

I will rescue you. Ps 82:4 “Rescue the weak and needy;”

I will deliver you. Ps 82:4 “deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

I will not leave you as orphans. Jn 14:18 “I will not leave you as orphans;”

I will come to you. Jn 14:18 “I will come to you.”

I will protect you. Jer 49:11 “I will protect the orphans who remain among you.”

I will hear you. Ex 22:22-23 “You must not exploit a widow or orphan. If you exploit them in any way and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry.”

I will be your Father. Ps 68:5 “Father to the fatherless”

I will put you in a family. Ps 68:6 “God places the lonely in families”

I will not forget you. Is 49:15-16 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has born? Though she may forget, I will never forget you.”

I will give you compassion. Hos 14:3 “…in you the fatherless find compassion.”

I will give you justice. Deut 10:18 “He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow.”

I will come close to you. Ps 27:10 “Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.”

What’s the Deal with the Jar?

Welcome to My Sister's Jar. The story behind the blog lies in the original post on Feb. 2, 2008. Type "giddy moments" into the search box to find it.

I'm a homeschool mom who loves to speak and write, encouraging moms to press-on in motherhood. Two of my books are available NOW! Laughing in the Midst of Mothering and Laughing in the Midst of Marriage. See them at www.LindaCrosby.com or www.cbd.com.

I have four children, one of whom is adopted from Colombia, so there are LOTS of adoption tidbits here.
